alexandernevsky -> Problem with DCGs in V2.2 Windows XP (2/9/2019 8:34:45 AM)
|
Windows Xp Home SP3 new install.
Laptop HP Compaq 6715s Ati Radeon X1250.
All Software/Driver updated for a new "lean" install only.
Had this game for 20 years since the original EFI was released.
Currently own 3 versions of each game EF WF RS.
Original discs:
EFII,WF,RS Talonsoft.Will probably still work on this system.
Ditto Gold versions, will no longer auto install from disc fails at 99%. Fails to copy files manually to HD.
Matrix Version Disc+Download, the following refers to this version/s:
Game has been extensively played in this version over several DCG campaigns in EF WF RS:
1. V1 + V1.3UD works fine no discernable problems apparant with the exception of a grafics issue involving greyed out areas for visible hexes and night time senarios, when scrolling vertically in 3D the greyout flickers in zoom out + extreme zoom out view, 3d normal is fine, I think this may be a refresh issue..
Though I consider it a minor issue any ideas on a solution would be appreciated.
Tested in several campaigns in this version:
2. V1+V1.3UD+V2.2UD and V1+V2.2UD only.
More or less issue as before with scrolling in 3D zoom out.
Major issue: DCG campaigns randomly fail to start new Campaigns/scenarios from whatever start link you care to try, next battle can produce the same result, Enemy Orgs etc not found![ERROR ID 1000]
When the game played it seem to work fine for the most part but with some minor bugs relating to end of scenario events ie CO screen not appearing, medals dialog (Hungarian for Japanese etc)the icons appeared correct though.
Failure to end scenario, this may be related to the CO "after battle" screen not appearing in some cases.
In game bugs related to reinforcement unit transport loads during game, ie EF 75mm AT in motorcyles, 6 point inf in 2 point halftrack etc etc but this may also be the case in V1.3 as I havn't tryed it yet, however as I recall this also occured in the original games particularly some units in WF British DCGs.
Also include a screenshot(not accepted) of the start menu which doesn't appear to install correctly producing duplicates for main links instead of overwriting them in V2.2, though all the short cuts appear to redirect correctly, V1.3 was no problem.
Sorry for this rather long post but thought I'd add everything in one go...
